It is in the uncomfortable when we learn a lot about ourselves and our dogs.  Are you willing to put in the work or maintain misery?

We need to stop babying our dogs.  They won’t get hurt feelings & they won’t hate you.  INSTEAD focus on building confidence through structure and boundaries by Crate training, Place training, Threshold Training, Structured Walks and Separation at home.  A dog doesn’t grow and learn properly when we are absent owners, put off the training or let them run the show.  They need an alpha to show them.  Be the alpha!

I wanted to make a video to talk about why we use a slip lead and what the advantages are to using them.  I’ve had so much success with all the dogs I’ve worked with when using a slip lead.  It allows me to have control over the dog, give corrections and avoid smelling/marking/eating things while we are on a walk.  Ask me today how this can help your dog or give a follow for more tips and cute pictures/videos of dogs!

Working on some more loose lead training with Cooper (brown mini golden doodle). He picked up on the concept with the slip lead very quickly.  He had a few frustrating moments but that’s when the magic happens!

I rarely allow playtime in the house…you can see why.  It creates a calm and stress free atmosphere for all of our guests, including our dog Ruby.  In-home dog sitting is the way to go when you leave.  You won’t regret it and your dog won’t come home with bad habits or anxiety.
